A new task force will study the status of women at Dartmouth after more than two decades of co-education. Class of 1994 President Dan Garodnick is forming a Task Force on the Status of Women at Dartmouth to "examine how far this campus has come in being a hospitable place to women since becoming co-educational 21 years ago," Garodnick said. The task force will address questions of whether men and women have similar opportunities on campus, if women on campus are facing the same problems as when Dartmouth first admitted them 21 years ago and if both sexes are able to fulfill their college expectations at Dartmouth. The group will convene at the beginning of the Winter term and will submit a final report to Dean of Students Lee Pelton in June 1994.
